Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
NPDES Permit NCO020621
Jimmy Smith WWTP
Watauga County
Dear Mr. Miller:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the
subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This
permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1
and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
The permit authorizes the Town of Boone to discharge up to 4.82 MGD of treated
wastewater from the Jimmy Smith Wastewater Treatment Plant to the South Fork New River,
a class C+ water in the New River Basin. The + symbol identifies waters that are subject to a
special management strategy for the Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) to protect
downstream waters designated as ORW. The permit includes discharge limitations /or
monitoring for flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS),
ammonia, fecal coliform bacteria, pH, copper, zinc and chronic toxicity.
The following modifications were made to the permit:
• The addition of weekly average limits for ammonia. The summer limit will be
6.0 mg/1 and the winter limit will be 12.0 mg/L. The weekly average
requirements for ammonia are necessary to comply with federal regulations.
The deletion of the total residual chlorine limit based on the facility's use of
ultraviolet disinfection for treatment of the effluent. A permit condition (A.(4)) has
been added that will apply a total residual chlorine limit of 28 ug/l' if the facility
should use chlorine for effluent disinfection.
The correction of the monthly average total suspended solids (TSS) limit from 10
mg/1 to 20 mg/1. The previous TSS limit of 10 mg/1 was given because of the
incorrect assumption of a trout designation on this segment of the South Fork New
River in addition to the ORW classification. It has been verified that the correct
stream classification is C+ and the TSS limit of 20 mg/1 should be given. The
weekly average TSS limit will be changed to 30 mg/1 (which is the monthly average
limit of 20 mg/1 multiplied by 1.5).

• The effluent limits for cyanide, mercury and selenium have been removed from the
NPDES permit based on the results of the reasonable potential analysis. The data
indicated that there was no reasonable potential for exceeding the State water
quality standards. Cyanide, mercury and total selenium will continue to be
monitored during the long term monitoring plan (LTMP)of the pretreatment
program for the Jimmy Smith WWTP.
• Based on the results of the reasonable potential analysis, effluent monitoring for
silver has been removed from the NPDES permit. There is no reasonable potential
for exceeding the State action level standard. Total silver will continue to be
monitored during the long term monitoring plan of the: pretreatment program for
the Jimmy Smith WWTP.
• In response to the new NPDES municipal application data requirements, DWQ is
reinstating annual effluent pollutant scans into municipal permits. Special
Condition A.(3.) of this permit details this requirement.. Be advised that pollutant
scan data are required to be submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report Form
for the appropriate month.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this
permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon
written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must
be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes, and filed with the office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such a demand is made, this permit
shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. The Division may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the
legal requirements to obtain other permits, which may be required by
the Division of Water Quality, or permits required by the.Divisioh of Land Resources,
Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local governmental permits may
be required.

Permit NCO020621
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 44%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, guarterlu monitoring using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998,
or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase Il Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
March, June, September and December. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below
the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the
two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the
highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the
parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWg
Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and
all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved
designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and
reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT)
test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of
the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be
submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re-
opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental
controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed
no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

will you be able to respond by COB Sept 1?
1. The application reports a max Cd value of 2.5 ug/l, with an avg of
1.1 ug/l based on 7 samples. NC's WQ criterion is 4.0 ug/l. The fact
sheet indicates that 1/2 of the WQ criterion is to be used, based on the
ORW strategy. In this case, that value would be 2.0 ug/l. Cd is not
mentioned as being specifically assessed for RP in the fact sheet.
Based on the above data, there may be RP. Pls assess whether there is
RP.
2. recommend changing parameter name and footnote 1 from "total
suspended residue" to "total suspended solids".

Subject: Boone NC002621 stream classificiation
From: Dana Folley <dana.folley cr ncmail.net>
Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 12:30:13 -0400
To: Susan Wilson <susan.a.wilson@ncmaiLnel>
CC: Jackie Nowell <[e-mail]>, Alridge Renn <[e-mail]>,
"jenifer.carter" <[e-mail]>
Susan, I was reading Boone's NPDES permit and fact sheet and NPDES permit file to help Boone figure
out what to use for water quality standards in their Headworks Analysis. I came across a question about
whether their receiving stream is C-ORW like their permit says, or C-Trout like they used to be, or
C-Trout and ORW both like the limits seem to imply, or what. The RPA had used one-half of the Class
C WQS for cadmium, not the trout WQS for cadmium, but the permit assigned a 10 mg/l TSS like the
02B .0225 strategy says to use for trout streams, not the 20 mg/l it says for non -trout. 1 went to Jackie for
help and she said we needed Alridge to review the maps and make an official classification
determination. He confirmed it is C+, where the + means apply the strategy in 02B .0225 to protect the
downstream designation of ORW. He also said it is not a trout stream. So I will tell Boone to use
one-half of the Class C WQS. 1 will not mention the 10 versus 20 mg/l TSS to Boone, but let you do
whatever you need to do on that at the permit renewal which is scheduled for early next year. I will put a
copy of this email and the sheets with my notes of my conversation with Alridge in the Boone NPDES
file for your reference.

BACKGROUND
The Town of Boone — Jimmy Smith WWTP is a 4.82 MGD tertiary treatment facility that
discharges to the South Fork New River. The facility serves approximately 14000 persons in the
Town of Boone and surrounding area. The facility is currently at about 50% of design capacity
and discharges a high quality effluent. Existing limits for protection of water quality standards
are 5/2/6 and 10/4/6..
The Boone WWTP has a full Long Term Monitoring Program (LTMP) with its Pretreatment
program and handles waste flow from one (1) significant industrial user (SIU). The current
permit contains limits/monitoring requirements for the following metals/toxics: mercury,
cyanide, selenium, copper, silver, and zinc. It is recommended that the Town continue to
implement the pretreatment program during the next permit cycle.
Receiving Stream/Instream Monitoring Review
This segment of the South Fork New River has a stream classification of C+. The + symbol
identifies waters that are subject to a special management strategy for the Outstanding Resource
Waters (ORW) for the protection of a downstream waters designated as ORW. (The downstream
water is the New River). The South Fork New River is not listed on the NC Impaired Streams
List (2006).
Instream monitoring is not required of this facility.

Compliance Review
The plant has a very good compliance record. Despite the stringent limits for BODS, NH3, TSS,
and metals, the Boone WWTP has had very few permit limit violations. The facility consistently
discharges levels of BODS of <2 mg/l, NH3 <1 mg/l, and TSS < 0.1 mg/l. The most recent
permit violation was in 2003 for cyanide however no other violations of any parameters have
occurred in nearly three years.
Note: Weekly average limits for NH3 will be added to the permit per federal regulations.
Note2: The TSS limit of 10 mg/l previously given for ORW waters with a trout classification will
be corrected and modified to 20 mg/1 for nontrout ORW waters.
Toxicity Testing
Existing: Chronic Quarterly Pass/Fail at 44% - testing required during the months of March June
September and December.
Facility has had an excellent record of compliance with the toxicity test. Boone has passed every
tox test from March 2002 through June 2006
Recommendation: Renewal of existing Chronic P/F toxicity test @ 44%
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA):
A reasonable potential analysis (RPA) was performed for the following limited or monitored
parameters:
• Silver
• Mercury
• Zinc
• Copper
• Cyanide
• Selenium
The ORW strategy requires that water quality standards equal to one-half of the value be
protected in the streams.
Effluent data from January 2004 through Apfil 2006 was evaluated in the RPA using values
equal to one half of the water quality standard. Results indicated that no reasonable potential to
exceed the water quality standard exists for the following:
• Silver
• Mercury
• Cyanide
• Selenium
Based on the RPA results, limits for cyanide, mercury and selenium will be dropped from the
permit, in addition to silver monitoring which will also be dropped from the permit. These four
parameters will be monitored on a quarterly basis in the pretreatment program's LTMP.
Fact Sheet
wror,S nICo020s21 Rvnewat
Page 2

Results of the RPA indicated that effluent monitoring for the following two parameters will
remain in the permit based on reasonable potential to exceed the action level standards:
• Copper
• Zinc
A review of priority pollutant analysis (PPA) data that was submitted indicated that most
parameters recorded values below the method detection level and therefore was assumed to have
no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality standards. A value for bis (2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate was considered to be a laboratory contaminant and was not evaluated in the RPA.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
• Addition of summer and winter weekly average limits of 6 mg/1 and 12 mg/l,
respectively, for ammonia (NH3-N) per requirement of federal regulations.
• The deletion of TRC limit based on use of ultraviolet disinfection for effluent treatment.
A condition was added to permit that states if chlorine ever used as backup disinfection, a
TRC limit of 28 ug/l will become effective.
• The monthly average TSS limit was corrected to 20 mg/l as required for discharge to a
non -trout ORW water. Stream classification has previously been indicated as C Tr and a
more stringent limit of 10 mg/l was given. The correct classification of C+ has been
verified and the TSS limit should be modified.
• Effluent limits for cyanide, mercury, and selenium were dropped from the permit based
on results of the RPA. There is no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality
standard. Quarterly monitoring for the three parameters will continue in the pretreatment
program's LTMP.
• Effluent monitoring for silver was dropped from the permit based on results of the RPA.
There is no reasonable potential to exceed the water quality action level standard.
Quarterly monitoring for silver will continue in the pretreatment program's LTMP.
• The addition of an annual effluent pollutant scan, per requirement for municipal
application data requirement.

Mr Weaver:

pFlll-'i"•'�-.i �"L'LISY
The Town of Boone hereby requests renewal of its NPDES permit for the wastewater treatment
plant, currently set to expire on March 31, 2006.
Enclosed are the completed, signed application forms and the required location map, facility line
drawing, and narrative description of the treatment process and sludge management plan,
We also request that we be allowed to reduce our mercury monitoring requirement from once a
week to quarterly in conjunction with our Long Term Monitoring , due to the fact that all of our
samples with the new sampling method have been below the North Carolina water quality
standard.
There have been no changes to the plant process since issuance of the last permit.
If you have any questions about this package, please feel free to call me at the plant at (828) 262-
4580.

Potential Facility Changes (5-year)
Due to the recent construction improvements for which the last NPDES permit was issued, we do
not anticipate any major projects for expansion or repairs at the plant for the next five years.
Schematic of Wastewater Flow
Included in this package are the following drawings for describing the plant flow path:
1)
Site plan
2)
Piping plan
3)
Process schematic
4)
Hydraulic profile
The site plan drawing includes arrows for indicating the flow path through the facility.
Location Map
The USGS Boone Quadrangle topographic map is attached showing the location of the plant.
Narrative Description of Sludge Management Plan
The plant removes 3,500-5,000 Ibs of solids from the influent treatment process daily in the form
of waste activated sludge with total solids of 6,000-8,500 mg/L. This material is aerobically
digested for 5-7 days, then de -watered on an Eimco 2-meter belt press to a solids level of 15%-
18%. The cake sludge is then dried to 88%-92% in a Stord TST-40 thermal drier. The drier is
heated by steam produced by a propane -fired steam generator manufactured by Clayton
Industries. Biosolids production is approximately 600 lbs. per hour or 500 tons per year.
With the above treatment, the product meets and exceeds Vector Attraction Reduction method
7 (% solids > 75%) and Alternative 5, Item g of the Processes to Further Reduce Pathogens
(PFRP) for Class A biosolids. The material is sold in bulk to the public for use as fertilizer on
pastures, meadows, Christmas trees, and in landscaping. The product is registered with North
Carolina Department of Agriculture with a guaranteed N-P-K analysis of 5-5-0.
An information sheet distributed to recipients of Class A residuals is included in this application.
The plant has a backup Class B residuals permit that would be used if the Class A system was
unavailable for an extended period. In the past three years, no Class B material has been
produced, and we do not anticipate any processing in the future.

Item 6: Facility Description
Present Operating Status:
The plant is a tertiary treatment facility with a design capacity of 4.82 MGD. Average daily
volume for the period from March 1999 to April 2000 was 2.39 MGD.
Vulcan automatic mechanical bar screens remove coarse screenings, then convey the water to an
influent pump station housing three 5500 gpm Flyght submersible pumps. Water is pumped to
the highest elevation in the plant to a GH Systems aerated grit/grease removal unit where grit
settles in a trough supplied with coarse air and grease is skimmed from a parallel trough to a
grease trap. The grit, grease, and bar screenings are hauled to a landfill in Caldwell County for
disposal.
Wastewater then flows to one of two oxidation ditches, each with a capacity of 2.4 MG.
Hoffman centrifugal blowers supply air through 2200 fine bubble diffusers anchored to the basin
floor. The basins are divided into four quadrants, and vertical mixing is achieved by coarse air
channels between quadrants that lift the water from the bottom of one section to the top of the
next chamber. This is a relatively new design that prevents dead zones and laminar flow in
basins too deep for surface mounted brush aerators. The ditches are capable of complete
nitrification due to their large sire and zonation.
Ditch effluent enters two circular 0.9 MG clarifiers with lift piping and centerwell draft tubes for
return of activated sludge via Crown centrifugal pumps. Pinch valves regulated by inline
magnetic flow meters control the return and waste pumping rates. Clarifier effluent suspended
solids range from 4-8 mg/L.
Clarifier effluent undergoes tertiary treatment through four Leopold deep -bed sand filters, where
effluent suspended solids are further reduced to 0.3-1.5 mg/L.
Disinfection is accomplished by a Trojan UV4000 ultraviolet system featuring two separately
powered, self-cleaning, flow paced banks of 16 lamps (2800 watts each).
In the final step, the effluent flows down a cascade aeration structure for further oxygenation
before discharge to the South Fork of the New River.
Solids are wasted to two aerobic digesters holding 430,000 gallons each. They are de -watered
after 3-5 days of digestion by an Eimco 2-meter belt press to a 15%-18% cake, then dried to
86%-92% solids in an Atlas-Stord'rST-40 thermal drier. A steam generator powered by propane
heats the drier.
The final biosolids product is a high quality Class A fertilizer containing approximately 6%
nitrogen, and 5% phosphorous. The material is sold to the public for use on Christmas trees,
pasture and meadowland, and nursery crops. Annual production is 500-550 tons.

Item 6: Facility Description
Present Operating Status:
The plant is a tertiary treatment facility with a design capacity of 4.82 MGD. Average daily
volume for the period from March 1999 to April 2000 was 2.39 MGD.
Vulcan automatic mechanical bar screens remove coarse screenings, then convey the water to an
influent pump station housing three 5500 gpm Flyght submersible pumps. Water is pumped to

Potential Facility Changes (5-year)
Due to the recent construction improvements for which the last NPDES permit was issued, we do
not anticipate any major projects for expansion or repairs at the plant for the next five years.

Narrative Descriation of Sludge Manasement Plan
The plant removes 3,500-5,000 Ibs of solids from the influent treatment process daily in the form
of waste activated sludge with total solids of 6,000-8,500 mg/L. This material is aerobically
digested for 5-7 days, then de -watered on an Eimco 2-meter belt press to a solids level of 15%-
18%. The cake sludge is then dried to 88%-92% in a Stord TST-40 thermal drier. The drier is
heated by steam produced by a propane -fired steam generator manufactured by Clayton
Industries. Biosolids production is approximately 600 lbs. per hour or 500 tons per year.
With the above treatment, the product meets and exceeds Vector Attraction Reduction method
7 (% solids > 75%) and Alternative 5, Item g of the Processes to Further Reduce Pathogens
(PFRP) for Class A biosolids. The material is sold in bulk to the public for use as fertilizer on
pastures, meadows, Christmas trees, and in landscaping. The product is registered with North
Carolina Department of Agriculture with a guaranteed N-P-K analysis of 5-5-0.
An information sheet distributed to recipients of Class A residuals is included in this application.
The plant has a backup Class B residuals permit that would be used if the Class A system was
unavailable for an extended period. In the past three years, no Class B material has been
produced, and we do not anticipate any processing in the future.
